This site focuses on Republican politicians and conservatives that rip off their constituency. We have the Tea Party, fundamentalist churches, the corruption of ALEC and other special interests groups. But the site also supports progressive Democrats and the local Democratic Socialist of America. We must have ideas on how to replace regressive and corrupt politicians with something better.

Memorial Day —honoring those who fought for imperialism

By SJ Otto

It's this time every year that I post something about
Memorial Day. And every year I hear on the TV that we should celebrate the
lives given for our freedom. But the idea that people are giving their lives
for freedom is the biggest lie this country ever produced. We have not had our
freedom defended for many years. Most wars allow our empire to control smaller
countries, so we can get the best of their resources, including oil.

We have colonized two countries, Iraq
and Afghanistan.
We have created in them puppet US
style democracies. This country can't take care of its own citizens and yet
claims to be able to "help out" our brothers in other countries. If
this country really cared about democracy we would have pulled support for Saudi Arabia
years ago.

That there are those of us who believe this
country does not fight for democracy and freedom is the BIGGEST secret in the
country today!

...So have your picnics, visit your cemeteries, and if you
really care about freedom, honor some of the many peace activist who REALLY
fought for your freedom.

ABCs of Socialism

"Slacker" Ron Estes is our US House of Representative since Mike Pompeo left.

Here is a guy who did almost nothing (money or work) to win a special election. This slacker really doesn't believe he should have to work too hard now that he sits in Congress living off of your tax dollars while doing almost nothing to earn that money.

Ted Nugent blows!

Ted Nugent is a mediocre rock singer and musician who likes to support some of the most right-wing politicians and movements in the country. Don't buy his crummy music.
